PARISH FAMILY NOTES
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY - DIVINE MERCY SHRINE
In the splendor of the Easter Season and at the 3:00 p.m. hour today, April 12, 2015, Bishop
Nicholas DiMarzio will enter our church and celebrate Mass. He will unveil the Shrine of Divine Mercy which is for us now a center of devotion and prayer asking for the Mercy of God
to be ever-present in our lives as we journey from one day to the next.
A short understanding of this powerful devotion tells of Sr. Maria Faustina, who in 1935 the
Lord Jesus revealed a powerful prayer that He wants everyone to say - The Chaplet of Divine
Mercy. He promised extraordinary grace to those who recite it:
“…..I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those who trust in My mercy…” (Diary 687)
“through this chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My
will”. (Dairy 1731).
This devotion has become an international prayer translated in every country and language
and is widespread among the young especially. It is our hope that our shrine will lead us to
form groups of prayer in our parish and that this devotion will spread by example and word of
mouth throughout our neighborhood and community.
We will provide bookmarkers with prayers for Divine Mercy recited on rosary beads each
time the devotion is prayed.
Fr. Anthony J. Sansone

EASTER - 2015 @ OLMM
From the collage of photos printed in this week’s
bulletin, which sometimes speak louder than words; I
think we can all say that Holy Week and Easter Sunday were memorable moments of devotion and celebration which can be remembered for many months
to come.
It was a wonderful collaboration of many people
who form the core of our parish and who generously
give of their time and energy throughout the course
of the year, but especially when it comes to moments
like these. We who are the worshiping community,
and beneficiaries of these wonderful events recalling
to mind our identity as Catholic Christians.
I am especially proud of the young people who form
our Young Adult group and give of their time and
presence in our church. They are our future and the
future of this parish.
I know that I speak for the priests and deacons of our
house, when I say God’s Blessings on each and
every one of you and Happy Easter!
2015 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL (CONTINUED)
Envelopes are available (English, Italian and
Polish) in the bookracks today. Please fill out a
pledge envelope and return it with your gift or

May God continue to bless each of your efforts

2015 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
The 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal has begun.
It is not important how much you give, but - that
you give. This helps to widen our collaborative base
as to the number of parishioners who participate and
act responsibly on behalf of the parish in this contribution. The more people participate, the more it becomes a demonstration of the viability of Miraculous
Medal as being alive and filled with a sense of participation and not isolation..
Our parish goal this year is $50,000. As you
know every time we exceed this goal, the difference
comes back into the parish. In this way, you also
make a contribution to our parish. This helps greatly
since our Sunday collections are not meeting the cost
of the parish bills. Since every little bit helps, I ask
you to consider the appeal.
